Testosterone Deficiency and Nutritional Parameters as Predictors of All-Cause Mortality among Male Dialysis Patients
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an accelerated risk of cardiovascular mortality. Hormonal and metabolic disorders in CKD may constitute novel risk factors. Our objective was to characterize and evaluate prognostic implications of circulating sex steroids and selected nutr...

description | Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an accelerated risk of cardiovascular mortality. Hormonal and metabolic disorders in CKD may constitute novel risk factors. Our objective was to characterize and evaluate prognostic implications of circulating sex steroids and selected nutritional parameters in patients at different stages of CKD. Methods: Studied groups were composed of 78 men: 31 on hemodialysis (HD), 17 on peritoneal dialysis (PD), 30 with CKD stage G3-G4. Total testosterone (TT), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S), androstenedione, luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), and biochemical parameters were measured; Free testosterone (FT) was calculated. Results: The lowest TT and FT were observed in HD, the highest- in CKD (p = 0.006 for TT, p = 0.005 for FT). TT positively correlated with total cholesterol in HD (p = 0.012), FT negatively correlated with BMI in CKD (p = 0.023). During the 12 months, 9 patients died (5 in the HD, 4 in the PD group). The deceased group had significantly lower concentrations of albumin (p = 0.006) and prealbumin (p = 0.001), and a significantly higher concentration of androstenedione (p = 0.019) than the surviving group. In the group of men on dialysis, a serum TT concentration <2.55 ng/mL (Q1-first quartile) was associated with a 3.7-fold higher risk of death, although statistical significance was not achieved (p = 0.198). After analysis of the ROC curves, the FT level was the best prognostic marker in HD (AUC = 0.788; 95% CI: 0.581–0.996; p = 0.006) Conclusions: Total and free testosterone levels were lower in the HD group than in the CKD group. The nutritional status undoubtedly affects the survival of dialysis patients but also the concentrations of testosterone significantly contributes to further worsening the prognosis. |
